The clients sought a contemporary European image for an espresso bar in the new Pittsburgh International Airport, which would
welcome international travelers and present an international image for local clientele.

The space was designed to welcome passersby into the bar and to maximize the reality of the space within the confines of the
600 square foot tenant area. The space was designed on a three foot by three-foot modular unit system, both vertically and
horizontally. The unit system is expressed in the space through the three-foot square, high gloss laminate panels on the walls.
Additionally, the casework and the ceramic floor tile were designed within the alignments of the unit system. A simple
curving bar draws the eye in, while a reverse curve expressed the ceiling cove opens the space outward.
